    摘要: A control system for establishing grade and elevation control for a tool of a construction apparatus for maintaining the vertical position of the tool relative to a reference includes a first ultrasonic transducer configured to be carried by the construction apparatus, with the first transducer transmitting and receiving acoustic waves, at least one reflector, a second ultrasonic transducer configured to be carried by the construction apparatus, with the second transducer receiving acoustic waves, and a controller coupled to the first and second ultrasonic transducers which drive the transducers to produce an acoustic wave and monitors the time reflections of the acoustic wave are respectively received by the first and second transducers. The controller determines the local speed of sound based on a first in time reflection received by the second ultrasonic transducer and determines the distance from the construction tool to a reference based on the local speed of sound and a second in time reflection received by both the first and second ultrasonic transducers. The controller produces at least one electrical signal as a function of the distance of the ultrasonic transducers from the reference. In preferred form, the controller communicates the signal to a positioning device, which signal actuates the positioning device to adjust the position of the construction tool with respect to the reference.

    摘要: An ultrasonic sensor for a construction implement is disclosed which provides an indication of the position of the sensor relative to a reference surface in two dimensions. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a pair of sensors are positioned a predetermined distance from one another to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves to measure the time it takes the waves to travel to the reference surface and be reflected back to the ultrasonic transducers. Additionally, a transducer is disclosed which detects a side lobe of a acoustic wave transmitted by an acoustic transducer whereby the velocity of said acoustic pulse may be calculated.

    摘要: A digitally filtered laser receiver includes a plurality of radiation sensors spacially arranged in a manner which identifies a relative position of the sensors with respect to a rotating laser radiation source. The digitally filtered laser receiver includes a microcomputer having inputs which are responsive to impingement of the sensors by radiation. The microcomputer is programmed to process data from the inputs only when the radiation sensors are impinged by radiation from the rotating laser radiation source. The microcomputer processes the data and provides an output which is indicative of the position of the rotating laser radiation source and the sensors.
